Well, as this is introduction time, a little about me.
Wrong side of thirty, Wrong side of the sanity threshold...both depending on which side you're on!
Presently a longstaff specialist trying to form the core of a pro-troupe and constantly looking to increase my skills in the fiery arts. Just starting poi and juggling to expand my repertoire and looking to meet-up with other spinners for fire, fun and possibly profit.
Playing with flaming sticks grew as an obsession after years of martial arts (ninpo), midsummer gatherings in ancient places and the Glastonbury Festival - all of which still have their hold on me. In addition to this, I'm into playing guitar, listening to all types of music (with the possible exception of Norwegian Suicide-Metal), writing, reading, partying and spicy food. So, basically, that's me. Any questions?
I would hate to advocate drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Hey hey.
Only one question. Do you like the colour pink?

Hello and welcome to HoP!!!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Hi all - and thanks for the welcome.
Pink? I have no ethical objections to it as a colour - aesthetic one's perhaps
! It's not really a shade I've ever had much to do with. It's not very 'me'!Skulduggery - Don't wish to appear a bit dim but what does UCoF mean

UCoF is short for Unborn Children on Fire (well it does at the moment he has a habit of changing it but always with the same initials) He is another of the members at HoP. He's quite cute really, but has a nasty habit of leaving..... how do I put this........ Questionable pictures on peoples threads or links to places you might not wish to visit unless you have a strong stomach, haven't just eaten your dinner and are not at your place of work where they frown upon nudity.
Chant the mantra with me
I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves I must not click links UCoF leaves ................
I'm only kidding...... UCoF don't beat me......
please. Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!

Ahh, I've seen the name in various threads - things begin to make sense. *notes need for ninja-like sense of danger*
Has anyone ever asked why??

Hi Pink
Sadly didn't make it to the convention
Had to make do with spinnin' in the park instead - it's a cash thing...as usual. I would hate to advocate drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Hi Faberge
Quite simple really - it's my name! Well, sort of. My name is Egon - and my family and friends have always called me eggz.

Mmmmm...hope it's a large shelf...I'm not a small egg
- but if there's a friendly shelf in Dublin to sleep on, I'm in 
*heads off to find specialist shelf-camping equipment* I would hate to advocate drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
